• Academic All-Big 12 Teams
STILLWATER – A school-record five Oklahoma State women's golfers were named to the 2017 Academic All-Big 12 First Team, the league announced on Tuesday.
Cowgirls Chih-Min Chen, Linnea Johansson, McCandren Mack, Kenzie Neisen and Alexis Sadeghy all earned first-team honors for maintaining a 3.20 or better GPA.
It is Johansson's third straight first-team selection, which makes her just the seventh Cowgirl to earn at least three First-Team Academic All-Big 12 nods. Emma Zackrisson (1999-02) is the only Cowgirl to be named first team on four occasions.
Neisen, the two-time defending Big 12 Conference individual champion, is now a two-time first-team academic selection, while Chen, Mack and Sadeghy all earned their first selection.
In total, 77 student-athletes were honored on the 2017 Academic All-Big 12 Golf Teams across the league.
The teams are comprised of 41 men's golf honorees (36 first team and five second team), along with 36 women's golf selections (34 first team and two second team) for a total of 70 combined first team honorees. The 77 combined honorees are the most on the Academic All-Big 12 Golf Team since 2011 where the team features 85 student-athletes.
The Cowgirls will begin their quest for a 10th Big 12 Championship on Friday at The Dominion Country Club in San Antonio, Texas.
